Abstract
We develop a model to examine the link formation and the stability of networks in a Hotelling-type oligopoly. We find that with two firms, the link formation depends on the degree of vertical differentiation regardless of the degree of horizontal differentiation, while, with a greater number of firms, link formation occurs when firms feature high horizontal differentiation but low vertical differentiation.
